We are #CarilionProud of Charlene Randolph for receiving a Daisy Award! "She genuinely cares and has been very helpful on multiple ER visits. She went above and beyond to help me on the last visit when I wasn't even her patient, made sure I had everything I needed." Said one of Charlene's nominators. "Charlene went above and beyond to take care of my dad during his hospital stay. Not only tending to his medical needs but she also has the most caring and compassionate heart in any nurse we've ever met. We will never forget her and all she did for my dad and our family." Said another.
We are #CarilionProud of Jeff Mathis for receiving an Outstanding Preceptor Award! Here's what Jeff's nominator had to say about him: "Jeff precepted me as a new grad. He was kind, patient and broke things down and explained to me why things needed to be done, not just that they needed to be done. It made learning in the ICU so much better. He was able to make me feel safe, confident, and set me up for success to be on my own. Even now off of orientation I know that I can go ask Jeff a question and he is quick to explain to me what needs to be done...I wish everyone had a Jeff to learn from."

Plastic bags, bubble wrap and bed covers can create a lot of waste in our hospitals. That's why we've developed a soft plastics recycling partnership with Trex, which donates one bench for every 500 pounds of soft plastics recycled at Carilion. We're proud of our employees who have helped us recycle more than 16,500 pounds of soft plastics so far.
We are #CarilionProud of Peyton Smith for receiving an Outstanding Preceptor Award! Here's what Peyton's nominator had to say about her: "Peyton is a professional, caring, empathetic RN.

If Peyton does not know the answer to a question she will find out for you...She was thorough and precise in teaching Carilion's values, goals and policies." Congratulations, Peyton!
